governor romney's was a plan that was applied to one state. it was applied to a unique health care population in that state, which was about 7 million people. not like what we've seen with president obama, where he essentially took one-sixth of the american economy. reorganized it, applied that federal standard, and said, let's see if this works. i think the american people have judged that plan very harshly, because it wasn't bipartisan, it hasn't brought down costs. it hasn't been something that's helped a lot of health care consumers. it's putting government between many patients and their doctors, so there are very big differences there. tomorrow night, with the case on how to go forward with health care, what to really do to bring down those costs, i think that's going to be discussed and we look forward to that debate. i know governor romney does. >> on the issue of illegal immigration, kevin, the governor says he won't try to change what the president did by executive order, recently, allow children of illegal immigrants who were brough

the ironry is for once president obama and governor romney know we have a problem. on a recent prime time special on cnn, "fixing immigration," i pointed out that canada and australia now have larger foreign-born populations than the united states. both of those countries revamped their immigration systems to attract and keep the best and brightest foreigners, but we're closing the door to many of the smartest potential entrepreneurs in the world. if we want job creators, let's stop kicking them out of the country. when we come back, mahmoud ahmadinejad apologizes to new yorkers. more of my interview with the president of iran. this country was built by working people. the economy needs manufacturing. machines, tools, people making stuff. companies have to invest in making things. infrastructure, construction, production. we need it now more than ever. chevron's putting more than $8 billion dollars back in the u.s. economy this year. in pipes, cement, steel, jobs, energy. we need to get the wheels turning. i'm p. making real things... for real. ...that make a real d

one of them has obama -- one of them has romney up by one point. the rest are a very close race within the margin of error, one point, three points, four points, four points, one for five points. a poll came out that shows the president is up nine points. here's how they got there. they have nine percentage point more democrat turnout than republican. it's a fantasy. in the 2008 obama landslide, it was advantage for the democrats of just three points. and republicans won florida in 2004. republicans turned out by four percentage points more. you just can't have those kind of swings, the numbers aren't reliable. >> cornell, what do you make -- >> i think what really is going on, i don't disagree with what john said about what's driving it, but i think you're within the margin of error in almost every one of those battleground states. >> cornell, what about the florida numbers? >> i do understand what republicans are trying to do. i mean, they do have to sort of make this argument against the media that the media's biased in a way favoring democrats,
